Eggleton Robert - living Norfolk around 1870 possibly Fakenham

I am trying to uncover information on the family of Robert Eggleton ( Eagleton / Eagleson ) who would have been born before 1832 and l believe lived in Norfolk, possibly Fakenham around 1871.

His son John, my great grandfather enlisted in the 27th Inniskilling Regiment when they were stationed in Colechester, he was noted as being from Fakenham, came to Belfast with the regiment, married and had children.

On John's marriage certificate in 1876, his father Robert was noted as being a Carpenter & Wheelright by profession.

I have been stuck with the origins of John for many years so this connection is a recent breakthrough and I am hopeful of making contact with others who have connections to this family.
